      This spring, called "Eisquelle" (or also Kothsbornquelle), represents a geological peculiarity. The water temperature is permanently unusually low with only 0 °C to max. 2 °C.
      This "cold", even in the hot summer months, is caused by evaporative cooling inside the basalt block heaps.

        The Eisquelle is located between Frau-Holle-Teich and Kalbesee on the premium hiking trail P1.
